Re: native texlive and yum

Dear Fedora Experts,
bored of the several problems of the texlive 2010 distribution for
fedora (see my previous message about the missed hyphenation and the
1-month old broken dependency on the latex binary) I have decides to
remove it and reinstall it through tlmgr.

That has been a great idea except for a couple of issues on some
*nonrelated" packages. To remove texlive yum forced the remotion of a2ps
and R-core (and few other but these are the most important for me) and I
can't reinstall them without reinstalling texlive (at least in part).

Now I've already installed texlive but not through yum and I'm wondering
why the rpm for these packages not really related to LaTeX and in
any case working also without LaTeX can't check for the bins instead of
the whole package.

Is there a way for forcing their installation without installing
texlive?

Thanks all for the help

Walter

Hi,

a solution could be to build an empty RPM that will simply contain a
"Provides: texlive > 2007" or something like this to fool Fedora
packages requiring a LaTeX distribution.
